Genesis 13
1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
Og Abram drog op af Ægypten, han og hans Hustru og alt det, han havde, og Lot med ham, mod Sønden.
2 And he was very rich in possession of gold and silver.
Og Abram var meget rig paa Fæ, paa Sølv og paa Guld.
3 And he returned by the way that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between Bethel and Hai:
Og han drog paa sine Rejser fra Sønden og indtil Bethel, indtil det Sted, hvor hans Telt var i Begyndelsen, imellem Bethel og imellem Ai,
4 In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord.
til det Alters Sted, som han havde gjort der i Førstningen; og Abram paakaldte der Herrens Navn.
5 But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents.
Men og Lot, som vandrede med Abram, havde Faar og Fæ og Telte.
6 Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.
Og Landet kunde ikke bære dem, at de kunde bo hos hverandre; thi deres Ejendom var megen, saa de kunde ikke bo tilsammen.
7 Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country.
Og der var Trætte imellem Abrams Fæhyrder og imellem Lots Fæhyrder; og der boede den Gang Kananiter og Feresiter i Landet.
8 Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren.
Og Abram sagde til Lot: Kære, lad der ikke være Trætte imellem mig og imellem dig, og imellem mine Hyrder og imellem dine Hyrder; thi vi ere jo Brødre.
9 Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left.
Er ikke det ganske Land for dig? Kære, skil dig fra mig; dersom du vil til den venstre Side, da vil jeg fare til den højre, og dersom du vil til den højre, da vil jeg fare til den venstre.
10 And Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor.
Og Lot opløftede sine Øjne, og saa den ganske Slette ved Jordanen, thi den var vandrig overalt; førend Herren fordærvede Sodoma og Gomorra, var den som Herrens Have, som Ægyptens Land, henimod Zoar.
11 And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east: and they were separated one brother from the other.
Og Lot udvalgte sig hele Sletten ved Jordanen, og Lot drog Øster paa: den ene fra den anden.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom.
Abram boede i Kanaans Land, og Lot boede i Stæderne paa Sletten og opslog Telte indtil Sodoma.
13 And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure.
Og de Mænd i Sodoma vare onde, og de syndede saare mod Herren.
14 And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west.
Og Herren sagde til Abram, efter at Lot var skilt fra ham: Kære, opløft dine Øjne; og se fra det Sted, hvor du er, mod Norden og mod Sønden og mod Østen og mod Vesten.
15 All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, and to thy seed for ever.
Thi alt det Land, som du ser, det vil jeg give dig og dit Afkom evindeligen.
16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: if any man be able to number the dust of the earth, he shall be able to number thy seed also.
Og jeg vil gøre dit Afkom som Støv paa Jorden; dersom nogen kan tælle Støvet paa Jorden, da skal ogsaa dit Afkom tælles.
17 Arise and walk through the land in the length, and in the breadth thereof: for I will give it to thee.
Staa op, vandre igennem Landet, i dets Længde og i dets Bredde; thi dig vil jeg give det.
18 So Abram removing his tent came and dwelt by the vale of Mambre, which is in Hebron: and he built there an altar to the Lord.
Saa opslog Abram Telt og kom og boede i Mamre Lund, som er i Hebron, og byggede der Herren et Alter.
